As a result of a botched police investigation, a wrongful arrest and charge was made against Joey De Mesa which resulted in destroying this young mans life.

Check out the above story at the Daily Telegraph website to see the level of incompetence shown by the police.
This bloke should have the right to sue the NSW Police Force for big bucks after the stuff up. But of course, the government always protects itself from potential litigation when it stuffs up things. What do the police care if they have the right person or not? Arrest poor Joey, throw him in some hell hole cell for two days, say "Oops, wrong person", "Off you go". Now it's been splashed over all the newspapers in the land, and Joey's stuffed.
Someone, give this bloke a chance and give him a job.
And like I've pointed out previously in this blog, laws should be changed to protect the names of people accused of certain offences until the charges are proved and they are convicted in a court of law. Police are all too willing just to jump in and arrest people willy nilly and don't give a hoot either way whose life they destroy. Laws should be changed to allow the police force to be held accountable for arrests where there is no evidence and the accused ends up being released. You see this all the time in reports where police suddenly drop charges against an accused because there is not enough evidence (or alternatively, it gets thrown out of court). It happens more often than you think.
Police have this tendency to arrest first, then try and find evidence to fit. A bit of a dangerous thing don't you think?
Get Real
